| The current study was done with the aim of evaluating the effects of the essential oils extracted from Menthalongifolia, Saturejahortensis, Zataria multiflora on some hematological parameters insterletfish (Acipenserruthenus).The essential oils were added to daily diet (1%) for onemonth and cellular and humoral immunity parameters were studied at the end of the experiment. The results indicated that the percent of neutrophils has been increased in test groups, especially for Zataria multiflora andMenthalongifolia, comparedto the control group (P≤0.05),however no significant difference was observed for leukocytes among different groups. Number of phagocytic bacteria in test groups was also higher than the control group (P<0.05). The results also indicated an increase in lysozyme level in test groups with a statistical difference between the fish fed by Saturejahortensis and control group (P≤0.05). Principally, the results represented the increase of some cellular and humoral immune parameters of starlet following administration of the essential oil of the above-mentioned plants accordingly using the studied essential oils especiallySaturejahortensis and Zataria multiflora for this fish species is recommended. |
